I have only managed green fingernails and a green stripe in my top today. I am bare-faced today. I am sad (because I did not feel like putting on a face - what gives?). I had plans for Maybelline Color Tattoo in Icy Mint topped with MAC S&TO e/s, deepened on outer lid with Eat, Love. Maybe tomorrow.

OK, I'm already a day behind, but my company has now departed. As a reminder, italics are for the challenge.

Admittedly, I'm not the biggest MAC consumer these days, but this was my go-to look last summer- and the first products I picked up from a MAC LE collection in more than a hot minute or two. I wish Lorelei had been re-released with the recent collection since it's an awesome crease color on me. I also really like Ravishing.

Today it's both roasting hot and I felt the need to tone it down a bit. I'll play a bit tomorrow but tone it down for some serious meetings on Thursday. I absolutely love the Chanel/Burberry combo- it's this awesomely olive/khaki/brown goodness that's perfectly neutral. I will be coming back to this look for sure. I didn't pick up any green clothing because I went for the lightest clothing I own.
I know what I'm going to mostly wear tomorrow; time for some more brights before going into serious mode. And now that my company is gone, time to get some sleep!
BTW, I took a Sephora contouring class this past weekend. I don't generally need instruction, but having someone walk me through it was really helpful.

Oooooh, I think I'm going to steal this look!Thanks ladies. I am feeling a bit better today, although still don't have much energy. I did put on some makeup today and I celebrated this by going with multiple pinks
Face:
Nars All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation "Mont Blanc"
Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer "Vanilla"
Hourglass Ambient Blush "Mood Exposure"
Eyes:
Hourglass Visionnaire Eye Shadow duo "Suede"
Mac e/s "Sushi Flower"
Mac e/s "Girlie"
Urban Decay 24/7 eye liner "Zero"
Mac Carbon (to fill brows)
Dior New Look mascara
Lips:
Mac l/s "Bubblegum" (lavender pink shade with gold shimmer, LE from 2010)
That lipstick is one that I can't believe Mac hasn't repromoted. I think it would sell more now than when it was originally released. It's a glaze formula, which I think gets a raw deal. The glazes I've tried have mostly been quite pigmented, although not opaque, and they feel really nice on the lips.
I hope you have recovered by now Katred!

I did a lot of simple looks for pink week, neutral ans simple eye looks with pink or fuschia lips. Once I wore Chanel Emervielle IdO (I spelled that wrong but I'm too lazy to look it up!) but what really stood out for me was the EL Shadow Stick Duo in Pink Teal from the Bronze Goddess collection with the starfish powder - I used the pink side and it was the prettiest pink and gold duochrome! Loved it.
For green week I did two looks so far - and both with the MAC EDES, once with Silver Sun and once with Legendary Lure.

Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum foundation
Bourjois concealer for under eyes, BareMineral concealer for everything else
Nars Translucent Powder

EL kajal in brown

WOW! Both on the dude and on you wearing Cosplay. I've never tried green on my lips - I've tried blues and I look horrid in them.
And I'm happy to see you wearing the EL Double Wear cream e/s - those are among my fave cream e/s and I don't understand at all why they discontinued them! I thought I'm the only one who still wears them.
I am thinking that the guy was being facetious because I am one of few women who work in this office and one of two who wears makeup regularly so he always has something to say. that was hid best, least judgemental response though lol. @ the bolded: I keep hoping that they will bring the cream e/s back. The product they replaced them with does not have the color selection nor the quality of the original DW cream e/s. I LOVE Smoky Twilight and I have only a ring of Café Au Lait left. I daresay I prefer them to MAC Paint Pots.

hAHAHAHA LOVE THIS!
I need to pay atten to what lipsticks you all wear with green shadows. I find myself in the Green eyes then Coral/orange lips.
I'm, excited, I have quite a few shadows to play with. So why haven't I worn anything today? One of those days. LOL
I have Guacamole Aquavert, humid, Oomph, Marsh, Thre ring yellow (kinda green), and sweet and punchy (kinda green also) All Mac. Chanel Olivine,
Arnama Green Iron, MUFE I324 and Toledo bellgreens...
I'll come back in and post yesterday's look.
Ooh I forgot Guacamole. I will try to plan this into Saturday. I also want to wear Humid and Bio Green this week. I did myself such a disservice going barefaced yesterday... I wear corals, oranges or nudes with my green e/s, depending on the intensity.

A world of yes to all of what you wrote. I love Mochachino and Smoky Plum and I still have unopened pots of Ivory Lace and Golden Sands in the fridge.
Btw, Mochachino paired with Chanel Olivine is lovely - and Mochachino is Cafe au Lait without the shimmer, at least from the swatches I've seen!
This is good to know. I have one of these in waiting. Also, a nice plummy shade whose name I cannot remember, and a nice shimmery green shade too. They have lasted so long with no change in performance. Never dried out. I can use these without primer. OK, I am done harping on this.

It's surprising that they haven't brought their cream shadows back since they're pretty popular right now----but then again, EL seems really out of touch with their client base.

I'm curious about that, too. I used to use Dior Sunset and Chanel Insaisissable with bright greens but I'm not liking it as much now. I'm using shades like Chanel Excentrique (teals), MAC Mystical, MJ J'Adore and TF Coco Ravish more. Will try Givenchy Brun Cachemire with green. Used a bright red today.

I was on theme today. Put down the Guerlain Brownie and Clyde mono lol Used two shades from YSL Lumières Majorelle (the green and the chartreuse-y shades lol) with YSL Orient and the blue from the YSL Fétiche palette and Chanel Incandescente RA.
OK Medgal, you are really making me rue the time I have left in green week. I forgot Hajar Karim and Fresh Flare (PLWES). What about the green from Hey Sailor? Wondergrass? I am about to lose it! How will I fit it in! Not to mention my Sephora greens (Walk on the Wild Side, Picnic in the Park) and my BN greens (too many to name). OK, calming breaths... I want to report that Cosplay has held up WELL. Through breakfast and lunch, water sipping constantly and two applications of lip gloss. Medgal, I know you said that OCC LipTars are runny but I swear the last two years have not been like that. I do have a couple older ones (don't shoot me - I am keeping the one I got at ComiCon FOREVAH!) that are runny by comparison but after that it seems to have changed. They form a nice little bead on my finger/palette before I dip my brush in and are very opaque on the lips. Just for comparison, Cosplay is like that - very nice, creamy and opaque, while Power Plant and Chlorophyll are more runny.
